What is the general interest in such a thing? If the project is stalled because the author has lost his/her motivation would they be willing to share what they have so far to get it back on track? As long as we're on the subject let's open the floor to see what types of features people would like to see in such a tool.

How about making it a webmin module.  As for (5), I
generally use mod_auth_pam with apache to coordinate
web users/authentication with the rest of the system
(which in turn currently authenticates against an
NT domain controller via PAM).  This seems better than
having to maintain separate logins/passwords for every
web service.
